Okay, following 5 cycles of HST, I'm now doing a new routine, the Optimized Volume Training by Christian Thibaudeau.
This is the link to part 1 of my training diary.

In this routine, I will be lifting 4 days per week for 8 weeks.

Day 1(Tuesday) - Chest and back
Day 2(Wednesday) - Legs and abs
Day 4(Friday) - Biceps and triceps
Day 6(Sunday) - Anterior/medial deltoid and rear deltoid

It's a 5x5 program where you superset 2 exercises of the same muscle group with just 2 minutes rest in between.

Current weight = 75kg
BF = 19%
Height = 168cm

======================================================================================================
Starting Maximum Overload-Training on Monday, 5.1.09

This is the plan:
Monday - Legs
Tuesday - Arms, abs and cardio
Wednesday - Shoulders and traps
Thursday - Rest or cardio
Friday - Chest
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - Back

12 weeks cycle. Status - Culking. Will take 1 week SD upon completion. Lets do this.
Done with culking. This is the 7th week on Max-OT, gained 5kgs. I'm now at 79kg. I plan to cut after my SD. Most probably following OVT and the anabolic diet again, or maybe i should try HVT, hmm, still thinking about it, anyways, here are my stats as at now [below].
=======================================================================================================
Stats as at Sunday, 22.2.09
Height:
5'6.0" (1.68 m)
Waist:
36" (91.44 cm)
Weight:
173.8 lb (79.0 kg)
Thighs:
21.5" (54.61 cm)
Bodyfat:
25%

Today's workout was full of power, everything seems fine except for the tempo part, can't really follow the tempo especially when the muscles are numb...My chest, shoulders and arms were numb at the end of the workout.
Went cycling right after that.

Man, workout today was tough. I had problems gripping the bar for the squats, chest, back and biceps were sore. I've even skipped the deadlift and abs exercises because I just didn't the strength to superset those anymore not to mention the sore I got from yesterday's hardcore exercises.

No exercises for me tomorrow, well maybe a 30-45 minutes incline walk on the threadmil but thats it lulz.
